History

A lime influenced riff on Ernest Hemingway's classic Death in the Afternoon. Another version of this cocktail, apparently created at Cantineros' Club, the famous Cuban bar school, calls for a shot of Pernod anis to be poured into a chilled glass and then topped with champagne.

Review

Delicately sweetened lime and fizz with faint notes of aniseed from the absinthe.

Nice citrus and Licorish tones. I would make again, but back off on the sugar syrup a bit as I found it a bit sweet.
